New job announcement: Perseus is seeking a Greek Treebank
Editor to supervise the creation of a syntactic database for classical Greece with
1,000,000 words - one of the most promising instruments ever produced for the study of Greek
linguistics, literary style, and lexicography. We encourage graduate students who could build
their dissertation work on this project, as well as classicists with PhD in hand, to consider
applying.

Updates to Perseus Digital Library:

Many improvements to the Art & Archaeology data and interface. You can now search the
A&A data and image captions.

Euclid's Elements have been added, as well as a large number of Plutarch texts, edited by Bernadotte Perrin.
Links to these texts can be found on the Greek and
Roman collection page.

New updates to Perseus Hopper
open source release:
The open source release of the Perseus Hopper has
been updated. You now have the choice of downloading
the data generated by the installation
process rather than loading the data using the
texts. The text files continue to be available under the
Creative Commons license.

Building a "FRBR-Inspired" Catalog:
The Perseus Digital Library has been exploring the
creation of a FRBR-Inspired catalog for classics,
and with funding from the Mellon Foundation, has
taken some preliminary steps beyond our initial
work first reported in October
2005. If you are interested in reading more,
please check out our new report.
